Chapter 68: You Can Look But Not Eat
At noon that day, the entire production team was filled with the aroma of meat, and the families who were the first to receive wild boar meat were now enjoying their meal.
Every household was filled with joy and celebration, just like during the Lunar New Year.
The only downside is that wild boar meat doesn't have as much fat as domestic pork, so you can't really fry it up. It's mostly skin and lean meat, and it's firm and tough, so you have to stew it for a while before you can chew it.
While the meat was stewing, Helian Jiao and her siblings would drool around the stove.
It smells so good!
Moreover, Ma Xiulian was exceptionally generous this time, not only stewing one leg and a large piece of meat, but also braising the entire pig's head.
Firstly, we have a new little VIP guest at home, so we need to treat him well.
Secondly, the weather is getting hot, and wild boar meat will spoil in a few days, so we might as well eat as much as we want!
Seeing how generous their mother-in-law was, Zhao Mei and Zhou Zhaodi, who were cooking in the kitchen, became even more motivated, putting out the seasonings without hesitation.
The whole family was very happy, except for Li Chunhua, because she ate! No!
Wild boar meat has a distinct flavor, but with enough seasoning, it can be masked. However, Li Chunhua is pregnant!
She felt nauseous just from smelling it from afar, and vomited violently, almost throwing up her stomach.
I can't even stand the smell, let alone eat the meat!
Li Chunhua felt incredibly wronged and upset.
She couldn't eat roasted snake meat last time, and she still can't finish this huge pot of potato stew!
Everyone else can eat it, but she can't!
So, taking advantage of Ma Xiulian coming out of the kitchen, he said somewhat aggrievedly, "Mom, I can't eat this wild boar meat. Could you heat up some meat buns for me?"
She actually wanted to eat canned beef, but that was too rare, and her mother-in-law would definitely not give it to her.
Ma Xiulian rolled her eyes at her: "Don't even think about it. The meat buns are for my little darling's breakfast tomorrow."
Li Chunhua never expected that her mother-in-law wouldn't even give her a meat bun, her heart and eyes were only for that wretched girl.
She immediately raised her voice involuntarily, saying, "Mom, I'm carrying Old Chen's grandson in my belly."
Her belly is getting more and more pointed now, it's definitely going to be a big, healthy boy.
Ma Xiulian glanced at her pointed belly without much concern, thinking that it was her own child after all, and said, "I'll steam two eggs for you."
After saying that, he rushed off to the kitchen.
Li Chunhua was so angry that she was panting, and then she vomited from the fumes. She was dizzy and teary-eyed, feeling utterly wronged.
Unfortunately, the women and children in the family only had eyes for the wild boar meat, and no one paid any attention to her.
By the time the men returned, the meat was already stewed.
It was stewed with potatoes, a big pot of it was made. There was no wild vegetable porridge; everyone just served themselves a big bowl.
Ma Xiulian said generously, "If you don't have enough to eat, go to the kitchen for more. Today, we'll have all the meat you can eat."
The children in the family immediately cheered with joy, and the adults' faces were also full of smiles as they ate heartily, bowls in hand.
However, each of Helian Jiao and Gu Tingyun had a small bowl of white rice in front of them, with half a pig's trotter that Ma Xiulian had specially taken out on top.
Ma Xiulian smiled and said to Gu Tingyun, "Don't be shy, make yourself at home."
Helian Jiao didn't use chopsticks; she simply held the pig's trotter in her chubby little hands and started gnawing on it.
While munching, he mumbled indistinctly, "Delicious, delicious, you big bad dragon mud, hurry up and eat it too."
After one bite, half of her chubby little face was covered in oil, even the tip of her nose had some on it.
Two more chapters will be updated later.
